Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, began circulating a memo on Monday to fellow senators about splitting up Israel and Ukraine aid in the Biden administration's $105 billion request.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Friday, a handful of GOP senators — including Vance — wrote: 'These are two separate conflicts and it would be wrong to leverage support of aid to Israel in attempt to get additional aid for Ukraine across the finish line.
